Wanna talk about a girl who climbed out of a well and frightened the daylight out of us. I must admit I never dared to watch The Ring (original Japanese version) all alone by myself.
And I am not sure how many of us dare to
For the simple reason that the movie spells HORROR all the way. The actual horror doesn't just come out in the final scene. The part where that long hair Samara came out of a well and crept her way out of the telly, but throughout the movie.
It is in every respect more superior than the slasher movies that Hollywood dished out. Those were never scary but violent
The Ring carries an aura of unspeakable horror. In every scene you can sense something horrible is in the air
.
The atmosphere of death and of someone dying stays with you throughout.
Quite a masterpiece. Even tonight, if I were to put on that DVD I would still need someone beside me first.
Many Thai movies are scary as well in a way. Shutter is one of them. I could never forget that one scene where the devil was sitting on the shoulders of her male lover as he was walking around the room.. That was so scary because it was so unexpected. Never in a horror movie, had we watched something like that.
When you walk into any DVD shop, you can find loads of horror flicks but seriously not many are that good. Many times we would get tricked by the pictures on the cover. The more spooky it looks, the less scary the movie ...examples..The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Last Exorcism, Paranormal Activities etc, etc.
Sometimes I come across, printed on the covers of pirated dvds of entirely different movies, the same line "Masterpiece, shocking...not to be missed!"
I got a pirated copy of the sci-fi horror "The Thing" but on its cover there is this line "A Hilarious Must-See!" I wonder what that means.
Later, I bought another scary dvd "Rosewood Lane" and also, the same line "A Hilarious Must-See!" appears on the cover. I could hardly find anything hilarious in both the movies!
Everyone one of us has high expectations of getting a good fright watching horror movies. But many are just let downs. To name a few.....Fright Night, The Rite, Don't Be Afraid of The Dark, Apollo 18 and the worst ...Dylan's Dog.
Recently, i watched The Cabin in the Woods, The Woman in Black and The Innkeepers. All are disappointing. I would say The Woman in Black is quite a classic horror movie though not scary enough. Anywhere, the actor is good. Why not?.....he is Mr. Harry Potter himself!
Anyone looking for a solid horror dvd to take home, should consider 'Insidious'. If you still haven't watched that, do not miss it. Warning: Don't watch it alone!!

THE LONESOME DISAPPEARANCE OF A QUIET BLOGGER
The world he had created for himself was not like yours or mine. Working through the night in the dark corner of his room. He disturbed nobody and stood in nobody's way.
Just another peace loving person with some views to share.
He had his own ideologies but not the courage to voice them out. Afraid they might hurt somebody's feelings unintentionally.
He realised many people were hypocrites, doing precisely the things they themselves despised of. Funny though, these people were never caught. So, they remain innocent in the eyes of you and me.
An idea of his, was that everyone was selfish, seeing only what that matters to oneself and always picking out the imperfection in others.
He said if a person puts a pair of purple shades on, he would see everything around him purple. That would be his perception of the world and he would think that's real.
That would be what matters, only to him, while others see the world differently and in different colours.
You would hear a wife bragging to everyone about her successful husband, but you will never hear her telling you of her husband's impotence or his affair with another woman.
He said we came from a mould. Everything and everyone came from a perfect mould.
Even if some are physically imperfect like the blind, deaf or mute, however, the mould from which they came is perfect. It was the transition from the mould to human form that caused that imperfection.
Because of that, in dreams the blind can see and the lame can walk.
Imagine that you baked 100 gingerbread men from the same perfect mould. Some would still turn out missing a hand or leg.
When I asked if he thought of himself as perfect, he answered no. He said he had done bad things that no one except himself knew of.
The last time that I saw him, he looked disillusioned. On his face you could somehow tell that he was going somewhere.
The last thing he said was that he just wasn't meant for these times.

WE ARE YOUNG
Horrible song, horrible singer. If not for the now famous chorus."tonight..we are young..so let set the world on fire.." it would be the worst song of 2012.
As anyone can guess, this song may be the next most sung song in the karaokes and clubs around the world...' from Ibiza to the northern boards' ....David Bowie ( Life on Mars?)
That 'we are young' catchy and infectious chorus, however, is inferior to that previously outstanding ' we are young, we run green, keep our teeth nice and clean, see our friends, see the sights, feel aright' ...by Supergrass and which was so disappointingly and mercilessly slaughtered and exploited by that sweet candy man, you know who, Bruno Mars, who altered the lyrics to 'we are young, we run free, stay up late, we don't sleep, got our friends, got the night, we'll be alright'. What a rip-off!! He made that great indie song sounded so cheap.
Back to the present, owing to its formidable few words like ..'.tonight, we are young'... it could be the perfect anthem exclusively suited for all the elderly die-hard members of The Sargeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band or some runned-down old folks home.
This song will definitely not get to be sung in football stadiums though, as it is not that motivational, hopeful or encouraging, nothing like that 'when you walk through a storm, hold your head up high,....with hope in your heart, and you'll never walk alone...'.by Gerry and the Pacemakers and rightfully adapted by Liverpool Football Club. You will never miss to hear it from their fans, whenever or wherever Liverpool plays. Great song, that!
Fans are very particular when come to choosing an anthem . Oasis, the British group from Manchester, is brilliant. This group comes out with not one but two great numbers chosen by its fans to be their anthems .."Don't Look Back In Anger" and "Live Forever". Whichever one is played during an Oasis concert, the fans would feel really gratified. And for them, just by hearing and watching that played live by their group, would already have worthed the price of the ticket.
Another British group as brilliant, is Queen. Their "We are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You" can bring down any stadium anytime. Truly miss Freddie Mercury..great voice and great performer. Needless to say, what a rock classic his Bohemian Rhapsody is and remains to be. No other rock group in the world dared to better that one.
Talking about great voice, one must say Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees did have a truly marvelous one. Listen to his "I Started A Joke". Though you may have heard many on the internet doing a cover version of that song but none ever comes close to the original. I guess its so sad that Robin passed away a few days ago and all the Djs on every radio station just pretended that didn't happen. Where's the tribute. guys? We owe him one. Truly.

ALONG CAME A GENTLEMAN
Keith was the most extra ordinary guy one could know. Jenny knew him by accident.
One night while driving home Jenny had a flat tyre. Along came a gentleman that stopped to help. He tried very hard but couldn't get the wheel off. So he called for a tow truck. He was so kind to wait with Jenny for the truck. In those short 30 mins, they got to know one another. After that incident, they became friends.
The next night that gentleman, Keith, called Jenny for a date. They had been dating for four nights continuously.
Keith never came round during the day. He would have his cell phone turned off. Jenny asked Keith what was he doing. He replied he worked in the share market as a broker. He had no time for personal calls and always busy during the day, everyday.
When night came, it was a pleasure and delight to see him. Keith would always come to pick Jenny at 7.30 sharp.
At the weekend, Keith never came by but he called on Saturday night to say he had much work to finish at home.
On the following Monday night, Jenny jokingly asked Keith if he was married or seeing other girls. To both of her questions, he answered no.
In a way, Jenny found him to be quite mysterious and she intended to find out his secrets.
So, she pretended to be angry if Keith didn't tell her where he was actually working. Seeing that, Keith reluctantly gave her the name of an office in KL.
The next morning, out of curiosity Jenny checked out the number of the office and gave it a call.
The receptionist who took her call, told Jenny that Keith didn't turn up for work for a week. She said the manager might have sent Keith out of town.
On hearing that, Jenny felt strange but she would not ask Keith about that. Maybe he would get annoyed over her checking behind his back.
When Keith came by that night, Jenny asked him for his address. He wrote it down for her.
Somehow, Jenny had a suspicion that Keith was a married man. The next morning she drove to the address given to her, guided by her GPS
She ended up at a large disused mining pool. 'That's impossible" she kept on thinking while driving home. 'Why the hell would Keith give me an address like that? He must have made a mistake."
The rest of the day, Jenny was in no mood to do anything else but waited eagerly for night to come. When Keith arrived, she would want him to clarify a few things with her this time.
That evening, at about 7, Jenny made a cup of coffee and sat by the telly to wait for her date.
The evening news was just coming on, reporting that a car was pulled out from a disused mining pool that afternoon. The driver, a male of about 23, inside it was dead, believed to have commited suicide by drowning. That man probably had died more than a week ago.
Jenny's eyes were glued to the telly as she watched the ongoing news. She almost fainted when she saw that the car being pulled out of the pool and the victim's body were...........Keith's.

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
Last Sunday i looked at my collection of Cds and Dvds and decided to throw them all away. A few years back doing such a thing would be a matter of life and death.
For once i learn to let go without regret. Everything is downloadable these days, so there isn't much point in keeping movies you have already seen 100 times over or songs you have heard so many times before or concerts you have watched until you can perform them yourself! That means even Michael Jackson has gonna go.
Another thing, books that you have read from cover to cover, is there fun to read the same thing all over again? I wonder. Some stories that brought tears to our eyes on the first reading may not do so the second time around. Stories like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, that made us go ga ga first time round, now have to wave goodbye and ride into the sunset too.
Songs that moved our heart before may not have the same effect when times have changed.
The horror movies that terrified us once look so outdated now.
One big problem are the pairs and pairs of shoes lying around. I have only two feet, how come i ended up with over 16 pairs of shoes? Again, i wonder.
I dare not consider the clothes. As i was clearing my wardrobe, i came across some that i could hardly believe that i actually bought. Such ugly clothings. Many that i hardly have worn with the price tag still attached to them. Now they don't even fit me anymore. Why are they in my keep for so many years? Again i wonder.
There is a strange middleaged man that lives directly opposite my house.Everyday he goes around from bin to bin , searching for trash to keep. Every time, i can see him bringing home something (usually metal items like broken bicycle parts, unwanted pipes, broken fridge doors and scraps of metal and etc).
He doesn't even bother if it is rusty or not. He looks happy bringing home a new find and his wife doesn't mind.
In fact, his wife tells me one day that her husband has hoarded up so many unusable things in the living room that there is hardly any decent place to sit or move about. And the whole house smells like rust!
Me:
What does your husband do with the scraps of metal? Is he building something with them?
His wife:
No, nothing but he says they would come in handy one day. He has ideas, he says and will put them into action when the time is right.
Me:
I see. (OMG, i think to myself, has he been getting texts from Cybertron to create a new Decepticon to defeat Optimus Prime? Or has he been receiving instructions from Steven Speilberg in Hollywood to get something ready to fight Atom in Real Steel 2?).
His wife:
My husband keeps himself busy every night arranging and rearranging and sorting out the junk. He is so pleased to know it is secured and that no one touches it. To him it is his treasure..
Me:
Mm...is that so...i see. (OMG, my second guess is true, i had better warn Hugh Jackman and that cute son of his that Atom is gonna get bashed up again one more time and i don't want to see all the ladies going sob sob sob again one more time. Enough is enough!!!)
She says she dare not talk to her husband about the junk . He would get really mad as they have had many arguments over that subject before.
Well, as i have finally decided to chuck all my old stuff away, though nothing is made of metal, still i hope that strange man won't go and bring them all back home to keep.

VALENTINE'S DAY IS A SCAM
Here we go again, all lovers are taken for a ride once more....as usual the cost of roses and candlelight dinners shoots up.
However, all the Romeos around wouldn't mind. Romance is in the air.
What is money when one is in love, it is Romeo's honour to spend and spend on Juliet.
Valentine is the perfect time for the ladies to show off. Just this morning my neighbour's wife went jumping and screaming with joy at her front gate. She was delivered a big bouquet of roses sent by her husband. She was waving the flowers around like a little girl so that all could see and envy.
She deliberately called loudly to her children inside the house "Come out and see what your sweet Daddy sent to me, how loving of him!"
Poor fool, I caught her husband walking hand in hand with another woman, a much younger one, while I was holidaying up in Genting Highland last month.
Should I tell her? Better not, I guess. Better mind my own business.
Last night, my casual friend and I went for dinner at The Ship in Damansara Jaya.
The place was so packed with couples. The tables were arranged so close to one another that we could overhear what was said between the couple at the table to our right. There sat a man of about 50 yrs old and a charming young lady around 25.
The lady kept asking the man to keep his promise about them booking into a hotel after the dinner. Throughout the dinner the man looked worried and I overheard him saying something like his wife was expecting him home to eat.
When I told my friend what I heard, he just laughed and said "Wow, lucky old man, can get 2 chicks and 2 meals one night!"
I always don't give a damn about Valentine as it is such a scam!
Instead, here are several more worthwhile occasions that call for celebration, for instance Mistress Day, Maid's Day and Divorcees' Day. On these days, I bet all the men will go queuing up to buy gifts and roses for their lover as well as booking dinner tables and hotel rooms for the night! Good luck to them!
So, wives of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your husbands!

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT
My friend Tommy is a nice and shy guy
He always wanted to experience a foot massage. So one night, having gathered enough courage, he went alone to a parlour in Puchong.
The female massager, a young sexy woman from China, asked Tommy if he wanted to try something extra special. Tommy was confused. The woman suggested a full body massage together with something naughty. Tommy was so excited and said yeah and followed the woman into a small room with a single bed.
Tommy was then asked to strip himself, while the woman undressed. After that, she wrapped a towel around her body and told Tommy to wait in the room, while she went to the washroom located by the corridor.
My friend Tommy, having nothing on, hopped happily onto the bed and waited eagerly for the woman to return. The China woman never returned and by that time, Tommy was getting rather cold.
All of a sudden, the door of the room blasted wide open and four or five police officers dashed in. One of them, with his cell phone, took a picture of Tommy, lying there completely naked on the bed. It was a raid!!
Poor Tommy had to have all his personal details taken down by the police before he was allowed to put his clothes back on and go home. That night 4 females, all chinese nationals, were arrested at the parlour for entering the country illegally and engaging in sex services.
Strange but true, strangers in the night.
The next day, Tommy came round and told me that he would never, in his life, go for any massage ever again!!
There was another time, i was taking the night train to Singapore.
There was a man in dark glasses, wearing a short sleeved floral shirt and brown short pants around 30 years old, sitting directly opposite me. I couldn't tell if he was gloating at me because of his dark glasses. The seat next to him was empty.
At about half past midnight, the train made a stop at Seremban station. Many passengers got on board. A young lady of about 25 years old came and sat on the seat next to the man.
The train started to move again to continue its journey to Singapore. Listening to the monotonous rocking of the train and the view of the continuous darkness outside the window, i couldn't help myself staying awake any longer. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Just before that, i noticed the man and the woman opposite me, both had fallen asleep, with their heads leaned backwards resting on their headrests.
I slept all the way until i heard the announcement on the PA that the train had reached Johor Baru. It was then 6.15 am. I slowly opened my eyes and as I did so, I saw directly opposite me, the woman was sleeping with her head on top of the man's lap. And the man had one of his arms around the woman's shoulder. They remained in this position till the train reached Singapore at 7.30am.
I kept thinking, how could that be? The man and the woman were total strangers to each other. When did they become lovers, did i miss out something while i was sleeping?
Strange as it seemed, strangers in the night falling in love at first sight!!
